Theme: "E|Motion"

Designers, animators,
filmakers, architects and everyone else, PK-sf invites you to explore this
theme with the option to incorporate up to 10 video or animated clips into your
20-slide presentations. The clips may be distributed in any order you wish, but
may NOT aggregated into longer continuous segments. Within each 20-second clip,
they may have internals cuts & edits. Being Pecha Kucha, the 20-slide
format will be strictly enforced. Non-complying submissions will be returned.

We will post links to
online tutorials for capturing video content from the internet.

Contact us at
"pechakucha.sf at gmail dot com" for submission requirements.

Pecha Kucha-Sf v51 will
be a pre-launch evening in anticipation of the September's 2012 Architecture in
the City Festival. The theme for this year's festival is "DESIGN: It's
about Time."

About Pecha Kucha San Francisco

It's time for the design talent in San Francisco to "See & Be Seen." So much design talent in San Francisco & so little exposure!

Here's the chance for you, designers of all kinds, to tell the world about YOUR big ideas! Break out of those pesky specialties, see what cool things are going on right here in town. Who knows you might just stimulate some cross-discipline collaborations & connections & maybe even get inspired in the process.

We have invited designers in product design, interactive media, illustration, fashion, graphics, film, architecture & landscape - virtual and real- to stand-up and show the world what they can do.

This is the San Francisco version of Pecha Kucha, originally created by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo.

Rules and Format:

These are the basic rules for Pecha Kucha:

- Presentation: Each person shows 20 images. You have 20 seconds to show each image. You have no control over this. It will be programmed on a computer, so you should be fast and we recommend you practice your presentation.

- Naming: Name your images with your initials followed by consecutive numbers, i.e. PJ-001.jpg, PJ-002.jpg, PJ-003.jpg, etc. Please practice your presentation beforehand to make sure your slides are named correctly. Please follow the format, if you don't name your images correctly the computer will order them in a wrong way and it can affect your presentation. This also makes it easier for us to run the show and handle a large amount of images : )

- Sending: Once you have your images, please e-mail them to us (no later than a day before the event). We usually have a page with a preview image of each presenter before each event, so please also send us an image that you want for your thumbnail.

- Schedule: The doors open at 7pm (19:00) & the first presentation starts at 20:20.

Come thirsty and bring along your friends!
